applications should
be attached to the appropriate deposit. Whenever possible, number
each package (e. g., 1 of 3, 2 of 4) to facilitate processing.

What Happens if the Three Elements Are Not Received Together

Applications and fees received without appropriate copies, phonorecords,
or identifying material will not be processed and ordinarily will be
returned. Unpublished deposits without applications or fees ordinarily
will be returned, also. In most cases, published deposits received
without applications and fees can be immediately transferred to the
collections of the Library of Congress. This practice is in accordance
with Title 17, Chap. 4, Sec. 408 of the law, which provides that the
published deposit required for the collections of the Library of
Congress may be used for registration only if the deposit is
"accompanied by the prescribed application and fee...."

After the deposit is received and transferred to another service unit of
the Library for its collections or other disposition, it is no longer
available to the Copyright Office. If you wish to register the work, you
must deposit additional copies or phonorecords with your application and
fee.

_Renewal Registration_

To register a renewal, send:

1. A properly completed application Form RE and, if necessary, Form RE
Addendum, and

2. A nonrefundable filing fee of $45 without Addendum; $60 with Addendum
for each application. (See Note above.) Each Addendum form must be
accompanied by a deposit representing the work being reviewed. See
Circular 15, "Renewal of Copyright."

*NOTE*: *Complete the application form using black ink pen or type.*
You may photocopy blank application forms. *However*, photocopied
forms submitted to the Copyright Office must be clear, legible, on a
good grade of 8-1/2 inch by 11-inch white paper suitable for
automatic feeding through a photocopier. The forms should be printed,
preferably in black ink, head-to-head so that when you turn the sheet
over, the top of page 2 is directly behind the top of page 1. *Forms
not meeting these requirements may be returned resulting in delayed
registration.*

Special Deposit Requirements

following are prominent examples of exceptions to the general deposit
